Best KPortal Reviews

The baked walleye was delicious. The portions were huge - enough for two people. Friendly and efficient service. Excellent soups.
Nice quiet relaxing dining experience. No obnoxiously loud music or over-the-top decor, just great food, friendly service, casual conversations and enjoyable dining. Pretty much what you'd probably expect a library-themed restaurant should be.
Atmosphere: The entrance was very inviting although a bit outdated. The hostess station is in a cute “library” setting, however, where I was seated was just an open area with some pretty, large art on the walls (commissioned paintings). The first thing I noticed was that the wall at my table was dirty and had old splash marks and needed to be cleaned. A security camera that faces into the dining room had some dusty webs along the cord. The waitress was very nice.
Food: I have to say that I was disappointed with my dinner. A bread loaf with oil and what I think was pesto was served first. The bread was pleasantly warm but I didn’t care for the thick pesto sitting at the bottom of the oil. I had French onion soup which had a great flavor and was the best part of the meal. My entree was the stuffed shrimp which I regret. The menu claimed it contained both bacon and jalapeño but neither was on the dish. The shrimp was on a scalding hot plate and had a green paste on it then covered in cheese and placed under a broiler till it was 100000 degrees. There was so much cheese I had to peel it off to try to find the shrimp, then the green paste ( I think that was the herb blend) just came right off. No bacon, no jalapeño. Worst part was they also added a small bunch of greenery right in the middle of the plate which had immediately wilted and partially cooked due to how scalding the plate was. Needless to say, I would never order that again. I chose a baked potato (which was delicious) and tri-colored cauliflower that was oddly satisfying. I opted to skip dessert.
Service: The waitress was amazing and very attentive.
Overall, it was ok with the exception of the shrimp entree. I also thought it was a bit overpriced for what you get. Had the meal been amazing I may have been more comfortable paying what I did.
Samantha provided excellent service at the bar, attentive, joyful, a pleasant person overall! The food was very average as far as pub fare goes, but priced as though you're on the LV strip. The building felt empty and worn out, the entire time had the same energy as going to dinner at someone's grandparents house.
There's not much in the area though, so enjoy your $60 meal (my two dishes and one drink were that much) close to the hotel!
A lovely dining experience. Made reservations a few weeks ago and was seated right away. Service was prompt, food was not long in coming and was delicious! I had the baked stuffed walleye (lemon slice on the side) with grilled cauliflower in truffle butter sauce and a baked potato.
I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard hotel and this place was within walking distance. When you first walk in, the entryway definitely gives you library vibes. However, the dining rooms did not. I thought the decor in the dining rooms was a little plain and could use some refreshing. Food was good, but seemed a little pricey for what you get.
The Filet Mignon was cooked exactly to my request. They had a good selection of drinks and the staff was great. I sat at the bar and couldn't believe they only had one bartender. She did a spectacular job keeping everything going. A great place for casual dining. Folks weren't super dressy, more of a casual atmosphere which made it relaxing.
This was our first time being at this establishment. The building is unique and beautiful! The service, offered us by Deborah, was wonderful! The provided bread was delicious! However, the rest of the food was somewhat disappointing. My husband got the Stuffed shrimp and whereas it had good flavor, not all of them had been cleaned properly. I got the salmon cakes and they were very bland. The Italian Stuffed mushrooms were good and the French onion soup had good flavor.
